Over I he Wafer.
Mr. Horace Poppylon was a young
gentleman of about twenty-four years of
ag, of such excessive amiability, that it
was generally feared by his anxious rela
tives that on and after the auspicious day
as yet unmixed on which be was to
marry Miss Arabella Alma, he would
c-ease to be his own master. Miss Alma
was a " blue" of a not particular attrac
tive type rather a strong Prussian than
a delicate ultramarine ; but then had not
her rich uncle Charles announced his in
tention of allowing her pixty pounds a
j car when she made a ' maliiaiouial alli
ance, and was not that better than
nothinz? Horace's father thought so,
his son's income not being much over a
hundred and fifty a year in Somerset
IIou.ee.
Young Poppyton admired Arabella, but i
was rather afraid of her. Her figure j
was large, her voice loud; if ever she j
asked his advice on any point she usually j
laughed at it when given. This was of
course both irritating and uncomplimenta
ry ; besides, her utter contempt for the
theory of unbounded confidence, which it
is held by some should cxit Wtween
those on the brink of matrimony, did not
augur very well for their future happiness.
Arabei!a was as reticent as the dark hair
ed gipsy woman of a transpontine melo
drama, who seldom appreciate the beau
ties of candor until late in the last act;
and, as .he was fun 1 of tho stage, she
was perhaps prone to imitate her Thespi
an heroines. " I shall bi henpecked to a
dead certainty," Horace often thought ;
but the good-natured fellow invariably
sighed a sih of resignation whenever the
disagreeable idea took possession of him.
We are unable to give any information
of" the nature of the business that took
Horace Poppyton one line morning in
August to that district of the nietroKlis
described by the denizens of the west end
as over ihe water," but we saw him
parading the pavement of a close, dingy
looking street, situated b 'tween Westmin
ister Dridge road and old Iambeth pal
ace. The sun's rays were wnrm, and the
limbs of the Lambeth gamins rendered
inert and tropically languid thereby, they
sought repose on convenient, but dirty,
footsteps, and gave themselves up to an
al fresco siesta.
The street was almost deserted, when a
human butterfly suddenly made its ap
pearance, of o dazzling a hue as to bring
Horace to a standstill, cause his cigar to
drop from his mouth, ami his hands to
slidj suddenly, but not gracefully, into
his trousers' pockets. His admiring gaze
took in a fashionably small black bonnet,
trimmed with roses ; a graceful, well
formed figure, set of by a white jacket, a j
black lace shawl, and green s;U skirt.
The tout ensemble was ravishing. The
face well, Horace could not at present
see that all important part of the feminine
whole, for the young lady of course slic
was young was inspecting the numbers
of the houses, and consequently thus pre
vented Horace Poppyton, who was on
the opposite side of the way, from obtain
ing a view of her facade. He, however,
was determined to gratify his curiosity
" Who is it ?
Why, by Jupiter, it is lms n'ngr, nueu me wnn paintul sur
w ii.r out. too ! What Plise S Iiml un,ess y" ca" Sve ,ue :x sat"
Arabella. In a new
the dn?e can she le doing in this locality?
I don't half like it ah ! she sees me."
The above remarks Mr. Horace Poppy
ton jerked out in a manner utterly deli
ant of all elocutionary principles, although
his surprise was perhaps some excuse for
his inelegance. The lady on the other
side of the way had suddenly turned
round and presented her full face to him,
revealed to the astonished gazer the sig
nificantly self-possessed features of Ara
bella Alma.
"Well, Arabella, this is a surprise!
who would ever have thought of seeing
you on this side of the water ; business
eh?" said Horace, as be made himself
known to his intended.
Miss Arabella eyed her lover from top
to toe, then raised herself to her full
bight.
"Mr. Poppyton," she replied she
never addressed her lover more familiarly
. "I might decline to answer an inquiry
the doupt implied by which is only excel
led by the impeitinence you are guilty of
in making it. On consideration I do de
cline to -answer you otherwise than by
stating that it is business that brings me
in the streets of Rome."
"This is the parish of Lambeth," re
marked Horace ; " she's been at the play
books again," ho thought.
"If in the poetic enthusiasm of my na
ture I chose to speak of it as Rome, I
believe I am at liberty to do so without
asking the permission of Mr. Horace Pop
pyton," retorted Miss Alma."
"lail iamoetn by any name you
j please, 'tis sure to smell just as sweet,'
said Horace.
" Good morning, Mr. Poppyton," said
Arabella. " I am in no mood for the
real this morning the ideal world claims
me; good morning, Mr. Pop ah, I must
pop in here."
So saying, Misa Alma made her exit
through the door of what appeared to be
a fourth rate lodging house, leaving Hor
ace irritated and bewildered.
I wonder if tliere's madness in the
family I must find out," thought Hor-
ace.
A queer looking,, house that,
almost disreputable in appearance. Whom
can she know th;.'re ? I"I1 inquire the
name of the tenant. Oh, 1 see, there is
an ice and ginger beer shop exactly oppo
site, and an elderly female behind the
counter, who may prove , communicative.
I ll go in and invest sixpence."
With an ice-cream melting iu his
mouth, Horace endeavored to melt the
tongue of the proprietress of the'establish
ment into words. Rut he was not skilled
in that sort of finesse, and could not get
much out of her.
"No, sir," said fehe; "much as I al
waj s likes to oblige my customers, and
great as is the satisfaction I always gives,
yet when it comes to over the way I'm
dumb, for you see when there's ten shil
lings owing for tarts, iind they never en
ters the shop, bad feelings get into the j
'art, and one can't seak impartial like of '
one's enemies ; so I .never say one word j
either for or against, though much I fear j
that, were 1 compelled to speak out, j
there'd be venom on my tongue, which
venom wouldn't le far short of the truth."
44 R.it I suppose i hey arc respectable
-Hang it ! a regiment of
women
I"'
" Sixpence for the glass, an 1 the same
for the plate," s:ud tho voice behind the
counter.
In his excitement Poppyton had drop
ped both ice and plate on the floor; and
certainly the fight that met his eyes was
anything but agreeable to Ills feelings as
a lover. jyi ot me very uouse wiucn
Arabella but a few moments since had !
entered, there issued a procession of about
a dozen j-oung girls, all dressed with a
dingy smartness, that betrayed the ap
preciation, if not the possession of finery.
They gave a little run us they left the
house, with an accompanying titter.
After these came a small man in snutry
short cut coat, with a little woman to
match ; and last, but it must be confessed
decidedly leant in Horace's estimation, j
Miss Arabella herself, looking, to do her j
justice, anything but ashamed of the com-
. ... i . i i
pany iy wincli sue was sin rounueu.
Horace threw down half a crown in
payment for his breakage, and rushed
irom the shop. Should he follow Ara
bella, and expostulate witu her? Cer
tainly not. He might h ive done sj once ;
but now never ; there must be an end to
everything between them. So he quietly
made his way back over Westminister j
bridge, and thence to his father's house at j
Rrompton. He sat himself down first of j
all to think, and then to write. His
thoughts did not result in much; but he
wrote the following epistle to Arabella:
"Miss Alma The sight I witnessed
isf'actory explanation of conduct which,
with deep regret, I am bound to stigma
tize as totally unbecoming a lady, indeed
I may say a respectable female, I must j
break off the engagement that at present j
exists between us. IIukace Porn ton." j
Horace took a good deal of pains with j
this note and was rather proud of it when
finished ; for although addicted to writing
scraps of occasional poetry in ladies' al
bums he was by no means a fluent prose
writer. He sealed the note with the air
of an injured man, who enjoys the one
consolation of having done his duty, and
put in the post himself. In the evening
lie went to the theatre to dissipate the
"blues." . One of the actors reminded
him of the little man in the snutT colored
coat he had seen in the morning leave the
dirtv house, in the equally unclean street
whither business had summoned Miss
Alma "over the water." He left
the I
theatre, returned home, and passed a
sleepless night.
In due lime the post brought Horace a
letter from Arabella. It was brief and
characteristicof madness Poppyton
thought. Who but a lunatic could have
indicted the following ?
Mr- I Ion ace The writer begs par
don, Horace Poppyton Sir, the re
respectable (?) female declines to give the
required explanation. Why should she ?
why indeed! Docs H. P. think that
poetic ecnsabjlity enn euceornb to vulgarj-
ty?" The thoughts that permeate my
mind have nothing common ' with the
vulgar herd. H- P- is at liberty to break
j off the engagement. Will Arabella grieve?
lireak a hair mark me, a tingle hair
! jv . i i "... v., i i.i
irom on me nun o mane, ana ask tiie
royal monarch of Mie jungle if he feds it.
The day is near at hand that will be 'big
with the events of Cato md of Rome.'
An aueijla Alma."
Horace read over this extraordinary
composition with intense gravity. Any
indignation at Arabella's heartlessness he
might have peviously felt was now merg
ed into a feeling of pity.
It was painfully evident to him that
she was touched wrong in the head ;
and after a little reflection he came to the
conclusion that the best thing he could
do, under the circumstances, would be to
call upon fier father and inform thdt gen
tleman of the distressing slate of his
daughter's mind.
Mr. Alma was a quiet, undemonstra
tive man, proud of his common sense, ami
anxious that those about him should pos
sess the same attribute. Young Poppy
ton was a bit of a favorite of his, princi
pally because, in common with himself he
thoroughly detested pathos. A shrewd
man of business, had been Mr. Alma,
and although he had now disposed of bi
business, he still retained . his shrewd
ness. . .
" Well, Pop, my boy, what's up ?' ex-
j claimed Mr. Alma, when Horace, with a
I very long face and a trembling hand,
which he'd, with a tenacious clutch Ara
bella's letter, made his appearance.
I've called, sir, about Ar-Arabella,'
said Horace, pitcour-ly.
" AraUila 1" said Mr
Alma, pleasant-
ly; ''she's just left for the country
gone
to see some friends in Kent."
" For the benefit of Lc-r health V asked
Horace.
"X;:t professedly," replied Mr. Alma,
" although I think the change will do her
some guo l. I don't fancy she has been
quite the thing lately. Do you know
what's been the matter with her ? Lov
ers are privileged creatures, eli ?"
' Don't know, I'm sure, sir, unless
Rut there, to be candid with you, sir, I
have a suspicion that she's not quite right
in her head," said I Ioracc.
Arabella not l ight in her head ?"' ex
chilmcd Mr. Alma; "that's good! Ha!
ha! Why, she's no more mad than a
hair drcs.-cr's dummy ; but, stay, now 1
think, Poppy, sit down, and let me hear
what you have got to say."
Horace told him what he had seen
"over the water," and then placed Ara
bella's letter in the hands of her father.
The old gentleman read the eccentric
production with a perplexed air, and re
turned it to Horace.
" It is strange, my boy," said he , I
thought the other day the girl seemed
flight v, but then I attributed it all to an
overflow of 'gush' and anim.'J spirits. Le
monailish stulF, that 'gush.'"
Horace remained silelit. Presently a
servant entered with a newspaper, just
delivered by the post.
' Country newspaper, and from Ara
bella, too!" exclaimed Mr Alma, uhfold-
I ing the sheet ; "and bless me, l oppy,
j what's this ? How duccd odd !"
I Here the speaker paused to peruse the
paragraph, the heading ot which had at
tracted his attention.
"There," said he, "read that Pop."
Mr. Alma handed the paper to Hor
ace, who read as follows:
"Amaiixii Tuiat!uc.ls. AW a per
ceive by an advertisement in another
portion of our Journal, that the young
lady who is to enact the difficult role of
Juliana in the 'Honeymoon,' at the forth
coming amateur performance in aid of the
volunteer funds, will on that occasion
make her first appearance on any stage.
We wish Miss Arabella Alma every suc
cess." "That's pleasant for a father to read,"
remarked Mr. Alma, drily.
' That accounts for a good deal," said
Horace. " but it does'nt explain the 'over
the water' business," he added mentally.
"Why, Pop, this is the night of the
performance," continued Mr. Alma, rc
f'errin" to the newspaper. " Greend ile
is only half an hour's ride on the North
Kent line, lvun uown mere mis even
ing, my uoy yurse dark, see the
performance, and "
"What? asked Horace, perceiving a
roguish twinkle in the eye of Arabella's
father.
" Write the critique for the local paper,
and cut up Juliana," replied Mr. Alma.
"That'll cure Arabella of her passion for
the stage, I'll wager a pound ; or, at all
events, "punish the sly puss for her secrecy."
After a Utile further consultation, Mr.
Alma's scheme was agreed upon, and in
the evening Horace Poppyton took his
departure for Greendale.
'
The amateur theatricals in aid of the
funds of the Greendale volunteer . corps
proved a great success in a pecuniary
sense. Charity under any circumstances,
is said to cover a multitude of sins ; and
at Greendale on this particular occasion
it most certainly sheltered some bad act
ing. Possibly the audience who witness
ed the performance were perfectly aware
that the " Honeymoon " was vilely ren
dered ; but then they reflected that the
goodness of the cause for which the
"poor" and the. adjective in one sense
was extremely applicable " players" had
exerted themselves, should rob criticism
of its keen edge. The proprietor and
editor of the Greendale Comet, hitherto
a man universally respected for his mild,
hebdoinadel leaders, became an object of
universal execration for the heathenish
attack upon the " theatricals " that had
appeared in the columns of his journal.
And what could he urge in extenuation of
his imnertinence I Nothing Save a storv
to the etlect that about an hour previous
to the commencement "of the wrfonnaiiee,
... . ... ... ... .. i : ..."
i voung gentleman had entered his oifice.
represented himself as being connected
with the London Press, and expres
sed astrong desire to criticise the
efforts of the Greendale Thespians. He
(the editor) naturally felt flattered by the
proposition, to which he readily acceded.
The notice of the entertainment was
written and set up in type, the provincial
editor not deeming it worth while to per
use the production of the metropolitan re
porter, who of course knew bis business.
The result was the explosion of a literary
bombshell in Greendale, whose inhabitants
regarded the " gentleman of the London
press " as a myth, and attributed the au
thorship of the critique, w hich ran down
the peformers in general, and Miss Alma
in particular, to the editor himself.
" I should like to know the name of
the man who wrote that wicked article
about me? exclaimed Arabella Alma, in
the presence of her father, on her return
to London. " It was cruel wicked !"
" Nonsense, my dear, I dare say the
writer spoke his mind," replied Mr.
Alma ; " and the truth, too," he added,
satto voce. " Ry the way, Arabella, is it
on or off with young Poppyton?"
"Don't kuow. How yuu worry,"
was the sulky rejoinder.
" She's" beginning to to talk plain En
glish ; a decided improvement," thought
her father. " You had bettor tn.ui v him,
Rella."
" Well, I suppose I had," returned
Arabella.
" One question more, love." said her
father. ' What were you doing in Lam
beth 'over the water ' the day Horace
met you accidentally ?"'
For a moment Arabella looked very
much inclined to cry.
"Well," she said at last, "if you
must know, I was taking lessons in act
ing of some one connected with the stage.
The man in the snuff colored coat was an
actor, the woman his wife, and the girls
the ballet people. When Horace saw me
leave the house with them, we were go-
ing to the theatre, where 1 received my
instruction, and rehearsed. And now, j
papa, oe goou enough never again to al
lude to my folly, of which I am heartily
ashamed. I hate the very sound of the
word theatre."
When Arabella Alma became Mrs.
Horace Poppyton, she settled down a
quiet sensible woman. Horace instead of
being a henpecked husband, is one of the
happiest of men, while his wife's conver
sation is ornamented with the simplest
words. "She seldom visit a theatre, and
" business" never takes her "Over the
Water."
A small German baron had occa
sion, a few days ago, to see baron Roth
schild, of Frankfort. The great financier
was writing away for dear life when
Baron X was announced, lie did
not even lift his eyes, but said
"Take a chair, sir."
The baron with true German touchi
ness about titles, said
" Sir, indeed ! I think M. le Raroii
did not hear my name. 1 am a baron
also Raron X "
" Ah, a thousand pardons," said the
banker, still writing, "-ou are a baron
take two chairs, then, if you will be
so kind and wait till 1 have finished this
letter."
3" A singular animal resembling a
kangaroo or baboon, has been caught on
one of the highest peaks of the Sierras.
Its voice is strangely like that of a hu
man being. The animal, when standing
on its hind leg?, is about three and a halt
fect high.

When I usf-d to 'tend store at th
"Regulator" in Syracuse, the old gemie
man comes round one day 2nd savs :
" Roys, the the one that sells the mos
'tvvixt now and Christmas, gets a vest
pattern as a present."
Maybe we didn't work for that vest
pattern! I tell you there was some tah
stcrics told in praise of goods just about
that time. More cheek than any of
had a certain John Squires, who roomed
with me. He could take a dollar out of
any man's pocket when he bad intended
to spend only a sixpence ; and the women
Lord Rless you ? they just handed
their pocket books to him and let him lay
out what he liked for them.
One night John woke me up with :
" Ry Jo-hold fel'.ow, if you think
that ore's got any cotton in it, I'll bring
down the sheep it was cut from and make
hi:n swear to his ow n wool ! 'Twon't

Wha: d'ye say ? Shall I tear it? All
riuht, it's a bargain !
I coul l fil John's hand playing about
the bed clothes for an instant ; then, rip!

hid my bet id under the Liankets, perfectly
conv ulsed with laughter, and sure that
John had torn the old sheet from top to
bottom.
When I wwke up rext morning I
